Using the engine block heater (if equipped)

An engine block heater warms the

engine coolant, which improves

starting, warms up the engine faster

and allows the heater-defroster

system to respond quickly. Use of an

engine block heater is strongly

recommended if you live in a region

where temperatures reach -23°C

(-10°F) or below.

For best results, plug the heater in

at least three hours before starting the vehicle. Using the heater for

longer than three hours will not harm the engine, so the heater can be

plugged in the night before starting the vehicle.

To prevent electrical shock, do not use your heater with

ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged (cheater)

adapters.

Guarding against exhaust fumes

Although odorless and colorless, carbon monoxide is present in exhaust

fumes. Take precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.

If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle,

have your dealer inspect and fix your vehicle immediately. Do

not drive if you smell exhaust fumes. These fumes are harmful and

could kill you.

Have the exhaust and body ventilation systems checked whenever:

• the vehicle is raised for service

• the sound of the exhaust system changes

• the vehicle has been damaged in a collision
